Incorrect.

Omnia, Touch Pro, and XV6800 have WiFi and are currently available directly from VZW

There are 2-3 older phones with WiFi, but their names escape me at the moment.]]>Jan 23rd 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/Jan 23rd 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/

I've had it with both of them, I'm switching to AT&T and getting the Fuze (HTC Touch Pro). Maybe one day they'll both learn what real phones and networks are supposed to look like.]]>Jan 23rd 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/Jan 23rd 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/Jan 23rd 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/Jan 23rd 2009 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/Jan 23rd 2009 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/Jan 23rd 2009 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/Jan 23rd 2009 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/Jan 23rd 2009 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/
This will be the first DUMB/FEATURE phone on Verizon to have Wifi (only phones on VZW right now that have WiFi are smartphones).

And since it is not a smartphone, a data plan is NOT required. (although they will probably make you switch to the Nationwide plan, like they are making everyone do right now).]]>Jan 23rd 2009 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/Jan 23rd 2009 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/
I just re-read the headline and I still can't figure out why they'd introduce the phone before the camera...

I like the detachable stylus. It's "in" right now, a lot of phones have them, especially Samsung.

I don't get all the complaints about data plans. It's not a smartphone, so it's only about $15 a month and a switch to Nationwide. I also don't get all the complaints about Verizon. It's a great network and the biggest. If you don't like it, switch and get over it.

now for the 9600, it looks big from the pictures and a detachable keyboard. that just seems like a waste of money. i agree from above that people are just going throw it in the drawer and forget about it. hmmm wifi is pretty cool but is it really nesisary. the internet on the dare is good. i just wish we can save(download) sound files and set them as ringtones like you can do on a blackberry. seriously if u need anything better than the internet on the dare than you might as well use the computer. thats just my opinion. if that is a stylus i think that would be really cool. its easier to use that on touchscreen. i sometimes use my stylus from my ds.

well finally, im sticking to my dare till verizon comes out with another one that blows me away. they are pretty pricy when you think about it. cell phones are my fascination. ive had pretty much every single verizon phone the've made. the dare is the best one.

In the browser you can have three different windows open, plus RSS feed support, and now the phone can access real flash content.

Not only is the camera better with flash, you can also edit pictures on the phone.

Now you can Add up to 10 contacts with picture ID, the phone is lighter, and it has Threaded Messaging: Displays messages in time-order from a contact accessed via favorites.

Instead of just having an internal and and external Home Screen, you now get 4 with 3 customizable (Favorites, Shortcuts, Media) and 1 module home screen with QWERTY keypad attached.

Accelerometer: Multi-direction rotation, highly responsive - Gaming: Advanced with Multi-directional accelerometer. Also, the battery life is about an hour longer.

MicroSD memory port with up to 16GB support

Charger has been changed from the LG800 charger to the Micro USB.
Also, that is a stylus in the picture.

If the phone design isn't bad - this is going to be an amazing phone.]]>Feb 25th 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/lgs-vx9600-versa-phone-makes-its-debut-before-the-camera/I might return this phone , it is a big jump from an old school candy bar phone.

My husband on the other hand loves it !!!!! He does not care for the stylus on it , but he seems to enjoy his. Showing me all these different things it can do.
